President Wounded Warriors of Collier County

Mr Lynne is very knowledgeable in his field of law. He makes himself accessible to his clients and returns phone calls and electronic correspondence on a timely basis. His staff is also very effective in responding to his clients. Highly recommended.

Tamarac Village-FPL negotiation.

Jeffrey Lynne represented me in a difficult negotiation with FPL. He was able to obtain a better settlement than I expected in record time. FPL negotiations are notorious for being painfully slow. Jeffrey leveraged his professional connections and used his experience to guide the negotiation to an... excellent result for his client. His client communication and cooperation were/are top notch.

Brilliant Lawyer

Jeffery is an incredibly brilliant Lawyer. He is a straight shooter and has an impeccable reputation. We have worked with many Lawyers in the past but Jeffery is truly the best. His extensive understanding of both Healthcare and Zoning laws are unmatched. I don't believe anyone has as much experience... as he does. Our Patients care comes first when it comes to Jeffery and that is how it should be. It's nice to know that we have such talented council fighting on our behalf. Jeffery is like that friend you had when you were younger, the one that stood up to the bullies. If you are doing the right thing and not being treated the right way, Call Jeffery.

Land use and zoning lawyer | Jun 05

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Jeff. Jeff and I have worked on many land use matters where we were on opposing sides and Jeff zealously represented his client, but was always fair, professional, and courteous to me. Jeff is very knowledgeable and is well known for his expertise in the areas of land use law, Fair Housing, and the Americans with Disabilities Act and is a frequent lecturer on these topics. Jeff and I sometimes bounce ideas off of each other to determine in advance what "the other side" might think. I value Jeff's opinion. Jeff and I have worked on state legislation together and also served on civic and professional boards together. Jeff is an outstanding advocate and is very civic-minded."
